Core Features
LCA Project is designed as a simplified tool for calculating project-level carbon footprints, where users input project-specific data such as fuel use or material quantities to estimate emissions. The platform is presented as an alternative to both highly detailed tools and spreadsheet-based workflows, aiming to make carbon footprint calculations easier and less complex for project teams. Its features include:
Project-Level Carbon Footprint Calculation – Calculates greenhouse gas emissions for a variety of project types, including buildings and infrastructure.
Multi-Sector Project Coverage – Supports applications across construction, utilities, electrical systems, HVAC, and furniture projects.
Activity-Based Data Input – Allows entry of operational data such as fuel consumption or installed materials to quantify emissions.
Multiple Project Management – Enables users to create and manage different projects and project types within the same environment.
Data Import/Export & Integration – Supports data exchange and integration with other systems, including APIs for workflow automation.
User-Friendly Interface – Designed to reduce complexity by limiting inputs to relevant data, making it accessible for non-expert users.
Closing Insights
LCA Project reflects LCA.no’s broader approach of translating lifecycle assessment methodologies into practical tools for industry use, particularly in sectors where regulatory pressure on carbon reporting is increasing. The platform is positioned as a complement to more detailed LCA and EPD tools, focusing instead on project-level emissions rather than product-level environmental declarations.
It is used in contexts such as construction and infrastructure projects, where stakeholders increasingly need to document emissions for compliance with building regulations and procurement requirements. For example, regulations such as Norway’s TEK17 require greenhouse gas calculations for certain building types, illustrating the growing need for structured project-level carbon data.
Unlike full-scale LCA modelling platforms, LCA Project prioritises ease of use and rapid implementation, positioning itself as an alternative to both Excel-based workflows and more complex specialist tools. Its ability to integrate with internal systems and support multiple project types makes it relevant for organisations managing diverse portfolios.
